Summary: Wow! What a beautiful part of Texas to visit! There is so much for kids and adults to do at this home. Ping Pong, volleyball, rope swing and a cool bunk house to stay in away from mom and dad! The home met every one of our needs. We’ll be back!

Summary: We had a wonderful time. Great location. Great AC. The fishing cabin was awesome for 6 teenage girls! I do however feel, for this price point linens should be included, the back deck and out door furniture could use a little TLC…..ripped a couple of pairs of shorts with nails. The amenities description was not accurate..no boats or canoes. Overall the long weekend was great.

Summary: We had an extended family group of 20 people with a wide range of ages stayed here and all enjoyed it. Checkin was easy and the key was left on property so we did not have to drive into town. We brought our own kayak and paddleboard. We cooked all meals onsite, and found the kitchen had everything we needed, except a crockpot. The entrance and exit to water is difficult and was not manageable for some people. We drove to Utopia for fireworks, and also enjoyed the Leakey Jubilee that was held over the weekend. Overall our group enjoyed it.

Summary: Overall, we really loved this vacation spot! This is our fourth year coming to the Frio and this was the favorite spot so far. We are a group of 30+ year old friends so we put some of the guys out in the bunk house. They didn’t complain but it was definitely like an old camp situation in there- kind of dingy and had some bugs. They said the window unit worked great. The river spot behind the house was between 4-7 feet so was perfect for the rope swings. The house itself was exactly as expected. Comfy beds and a good amount of space. Big yard for yard games. We loved that there was an outside fridge in the garage. My only complaint (and it was resolved) is that a few days before our stay one of the workers called me just making sure everything was good to go, and they said they would leave the key under the mat as requested. When we got to the house it wasn’t there. Our group spent about 10 min looking all around the house but couldn’t find it so a few of us had to drive back into town to get service to call them. They ended up bringing the key out to us around 30 min after the call. So we were sitting at the house for about an hour waiting. I just feel like that process could use some work (Maybe invest in some keypad locks) but other than that it was great for our group! Would definitely stay here again.

Summary: We had a great time at our stay at the Sparkling Frio. It was so convenient having the river right in our backyard and so easily accessible. We have been coming to the frio the past 5 years and this is our first time staying here and it has definitely been our favorite spot. We had an issue with check in key that was resolved quickly with the staff. Everyone had a wonderful time, we can’t wait to come back.

Summary: Our family and close friends always plan a trip every year to Gardner State park and this year we tried this place. The river and view was beautiful. The water and atmosphere was amazing but It was not accessible for kids with disabilities or elderly. There are steps but if you have special needs kids that need extra support, like my 9 year old son, he was not able to get in bc I wouldn’t be able to get him out. My family got the old fish camp bunks! I have never seen a place as dusty and dirty. There is an old lamp there and it turns on but the glass around it is half broken. Cobwebs and major dust was in all the window and under the beds throughout the house and old trash. The master bedroom had a broken window which had a piece of cardboard and duck tape covering it. We were disappointed in the cleanliness of the house but can’t say enough great things about the water. We hope if we decide to return the home is cleaner.

Summary: We enjoyed out stay at this great spot on the FRIO. We've been staying at the same rental properties for the last 20 years, but they were sold and we had to find a new place this year. We generally have a Family/Friends group of around 20. The house is what it is. If you've rented a spot on the Frio before, it's par for the course. An older home with the necessities, but no frills. That's fine! Exactly what we expected there. We had 6 kids, mostly Teen/Tweens who were so excited for the kayak/canoe/standup paddle board. There was NO Kayak, NO Canoe and a Stand Up Paddleboard that was broken in 1/2 and someone unsuccessfully tried to duct-tape it back together. No paddles. The Bunk house was also a little more insecure than even previous reviews mentioned. The doors just didn't close all the way and some of the kids were too scared to sleep out there. My last issue was with the Management Company. As mentioned in previous reviews, this cabin is a 30 minute drive from the office where you pick up and drop off your key. This river trip is a highlight for our whole family every summer and it's a huge bummer when you lose an hour of your trip, driving out of your way, just to pick up and drop off your key on time. Especially since check in isn't until 4pm. Lots of places have key codes and combo boxes to retrieve the keys and that would be a HUGE help at a property this remote. We contacted the office ahead of time asking to leave the key at the property, but we were denied. Which is annoying since there wasn't even anyone at the office to collect the key when we brought it back. Just a box with a note to leave the key sitting in there. Again, we had a great time. We always do :). It's a beautiful, shady, deep spot on the river. These are issues that I would consider when booking.
